The very first thing we did once we got to Park City was the Alpine Slide. It was a mixture or pure terror, extreme fun, and utter shock. All of us went super fast (except for the freak on the right.)

Our hotel was super fun with all the old video games, the pool (and hot tub), and the fact we were actually in Park City!

On the way out of Park City, we stopped to find a letterbox.
along with the letterbox we also found pure fun trying to climb the Olympic Circles (only two of them though). It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip in Park City.

Today we went on a hike up in Grizzly Gulch. It was hot out and by the end we were all tired, but it was so pretty!

Crossing log bridges over a stream kept Harry busy for at least five
minutes. I don't know what's wrong with him, or if he just thinks that crawling on logs over freezing water is fun.

Can you see the snake in this picture? It's pretty hidden. It was super cool for all of us(except Norah.) Norah got really scared so we had to leave before we could get a better picture of it.

We had lots of fun at the stream throwing rocks and playing Pooh Sticks. Harry and Dad climbed up onto the huge rock in the middle of the stream. Dad just stood there and Harry chucked rocks as far as he could. There is nothing better than standing on a rock in the middle of a freezing cold stream. Ah, what
a life!

Along the hike, we saw a lot of stuff horses left behind. The only thing we liked that the horses left behind was some hoof prints. The hoof prints didn't smell as much as the other stuff.

This was the sign at the beginning of the trail, luckily we didn't see any bears. Norah was talking about how when she came here with her friend they didn't see any bears, so she was confident that there weren't any bears this time. The hike was super fun and really pretty, and we hope we can come again.

It's Birthday time here at the Smith house. We kicked thing off with a fun party at Grandma Veloy's with cousins, aunts, uncles, and even Dad!

Norah is the first in our marathon of birthdays, and she chose to have strawberry flavored princess cupcakes. They were a big hit with Norah who thinks that anything pink must be delicious. They were also a big hit with mom who is trying to drop some pounds, and finds strawberry cupcakes easy to resist.

We celebrated Norah's big 4th year with presents and a trip to Noodles and Co. It's her favorite. (Mom says that the mac & cheese there is harder to resist than the cupcakes.)

Norah's birthday celebration concluded with Aunt Anna taking Norah to Target to pick out a present. She adopted a new baby, and loves her very much.
